In 2002, the State Government sought input from all sectors of the community on securing a sustainable water future for the State.
Subsequently, a series of community water forums were held throughout Western Australia from July to September 2002. These covered new ways to conserve water, how and when to develop new supplies and issues to be considered in managing water resources into the future.
The purpose of the forums was to:
Provide the community with information relevant to the area or region on issues such as; climate change and its impacts, water supply and wastewater management, future demand, and water conservation, re-use and supply options.
Develop greater community awareness of the current research and other work being undertaken on sustainable use and management of water resources.
Provide an opportunity for people to identify issues, give feedback and contribute ideas to the Water Symposium held at Parliament House in October 2002.
